Meyers, a two-time Emmy winner, brings more than 20 years of broadcast experience to the organization, most recently serving as television play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Lakers from 2005-2011 which followed two years on the club’s radio broadcast.

Judging by one of the videos posted the Lakers used to be on Fox Sports and now they will be on Time Warner, so he was probably looking for a job and there are only 30 play by play NBA gigs to go around.

But like Bob and Gil, Meyers was hired by the Lakers right? Not the station. Bob and Gil are mostly gone because we have a new owner, not really because we're changing networks. Am I wrong in this assessment? Chances are if the NBA or Shinn still owned the Hornets, Bob and Gil would still be employed here whether we changed networks or not.

Yeah I'm really curious to see how Wesley does in this position. Hopefully he compliments Meyers.

I'm not too concerned about Wesley. I notice a lot of networks like to have an Ex-player of the team doing color commentary. I'm going to assume Wesley will provide firsthand insights only he can provide due to his game/lockroom experience and basketball knowledge. He'll be carried by Meyers until he can get the hang of things. Wesley is an articulate guy who is a pretty bright guy. Before he landed this role, he was an assistant in the D-league.

My mom went to high school with him in Shreveport. Every time he comes on CBS' College Football broadcasts, she has nothing but scathing things to say about him from back in school. I don't think you're alone in thinking that.
